Praxis is Dynamic
The greatest thing about Praxis is that it is dynamic. I am not locked into anything. You document your way.
Secondly, it is complete. I don't need an additional program to archive other records.
Work Flow
The real benefit for me is work flow. You still have to see everyone. You still have to document every patient. Those things will never change. But, you really don't want to have to do the same thing repeatedly. Previously, I would see the patient, dictate my note, get the transcription back, and correct the transcription. Then, my nurse would wait for the correction and subsequently forward the notes to the hospital as the H&P pre-op, or give it to me to re-dictate to the hospital. It's the same thing we all do. Now, when I see the patient, I'll either do the note in the room with them or in my office, then sign the note, and my orders, H&P, consult, cover letter, etc all print right away. There is no waiting for transcription. There are also very few, if not any corrections, to be made because after all, I am human.
Highest Standard of Care
There is not a surgeon practicing that would rather be in the clinic than the OR. I want to be in and out with everything done as best as it can be. As a full time General Surgeon (doing general, vascular, and bariatric surgery), this has allowed me to be much more efficient. I no longer am here until 10 or 11 at night trying to get all the paper work done for the OR the next day. The multi-page pre-cert letters for the bariatric patients automatically compile with information that I need in them. You do it once and don’t have to do it again. |
